The duo are without doubt two of the hottest properties in World Snooker at present and have set the tone in recent months for what looks to be start of an epic rivalry in a bid for snooker domination.

Their latest encounter signals a mouth-watering re-run of the International Championship final earlier this month, one which saw Trump triumph 10-8 to life the big-money title in China.

Their budding rivalry has intensified since comments made by Robertson following his loss to Trump at last season’s UK Championship and when the two locked horns again at the Masters, Trump accused the Aussie of slow play following a 6-3 Semi-Final defeat, feeling he would have gone on to win the match had it not been for the decreased tempo.

Trump advanced to the play-offs in this year's Premier League by topping Group B but had to wait until his final fixture to seal progression; he enters finals weekend riding the crest of a wave after picking up the Bulgarian Open title just last weekend.

The quick-fire Bristolian thrives under the shot-clock format and is favourite to add this title to his growing list of major televised successes as he looks to prepare for his UK Championship title defence next week in the best possible fashion.

Robertson endured a nervy end to his round-robin campaign as he edged out Ding Junhui in a straight shoot-out to determine who would occupy the second and final Group A play-off spot.

Australia's number one has not been at his clinical break-building best this season, but nonetheless has produced some fine tactical snooker and will look to outwit Trump in the safety department as well as showcase his trademark long game in order to win through to the final.

Neither player has ever been beyond this stage of the competition, with Robertson a semi-finalist two years ago and Trump falling short in the semis in 2009 and 2011.

They have met a total of 13 times in previous major competition since 2006, and Trump holds a slender advantage having taken seven wins to Robertson's six.

Of the 105 frames contested in those meetings in total, 53 have gone to Trump, while Robertson has incredibly claimed just one less with 52, emphasising the close proximity of the exciting young pair.

The bookmakers make Trump the odds-on favourite at 4/7 to inflict more pain on the Thunder from Down Under, with Robertson an 11/8 chance over the extended format with Bet365 to gain revenge for his International Championship heartbreak.

Either four-time World Champion John Higgins or ruthless debutant Stuart Bingham awaits the winner in Sunday's grand final.

The match begins at around 9.00pm BST and will be streamed live over the best of nine frames from the Grimsby Auditorium.
